What's the Deal After the Oct 7th Day of Action?

by Tangle
Students & workers met to discuss an action plan to follow up with the Oct 7th Day of Action at UC Berkeley. It was great to hear people still firmly focused on changing our education!

Fighting fee hikes, giving children of undocumented workers' financial aid & offering GSIs a more acceptable contract as well as building are collectively the reasons we met on 10/14/2010 in the Tilden Room at UC Berkeley.
